The total dimension of the proposed bioinspired antenna is 35 × 27.6 mm2. The proposed antenna has a fractional bandwidth of 115.43% (3.7 GHz–13.8 GHz) at 10 dB return loss, a radiation efficiency between 78% and 97%, a peak gain of 6.7 dB, and a stable radiation pattern.

A miniaturized planar microstrip circularly polarized ultrawideband (UWB) antenna loaded by annular-ring slot is proposed and implemented in the paper. With the annular-ring slot loaded in the radiating patch of the antenna, the side of the radiating patch is connected by the asymmetric inverted L-shaped microstrip. At the same time, a quarter of a circle is cut off from the radiating patch. The above designed structure shows improvements on the operating frequency band and realization of the circular polarization radiation. A tapered microstrip is placed between the feed line and the radiating patch to achieve the slow-changing impedance transformation. The results of simulation and measurement demonstrate that the 3 dB axial ratio (AR) fractional bandwidth of the antenna structure achieves 21.25%. The peak gain within the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth fluctuates between 3.74 and 4.59 dBi. The antenna shows good impedance matching in the ultrawideband range. With the compact structure of the UWB antenna, it has potential application in various wireless communication devices.

Producing a suitable impedance matching between the radiating element and the feedline is the prior hurdle to overcome for a wideband antenna with circular polarisation designs. This study presents a novel antenna consisting of a defected ground structure (DGS) and a crescent-slot radiating patch for broad impedance bandwidth. In addition, a narrow rectangular slot was etched on the ground plane for antenna compactness and outcomes improvement. In order to examine the reliability, two different numerical softwares were compared based on the antenna’s basic structure. Apart from this, an equivalent circuit of the proposed prototype is modelled logically using ADS 2016. The numerical results demonstrate that the impedance bandwidth was about 74.6% for < −10 dB, while the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth greater than 53% was achieved. In the operational bandwidth of the design, good impedance matching and high efficiency were seen, which shows that this design is appropriate for modern wireless communication systems in ISM and GSM bands.

AbstractA compact microwave lowpass filter based on defected ground structure (DGS), consisting of Yagi slot DGS resonators etched on the metallic ground plane of a microstrip line, is studied in this paper. The proposed lowpass filter was analyzed by parameter sweeping and optimal parameters were selected to design a prototype demonstrator filter. Measurements show the developed lowpass filter exhibits a 3dB cuto frequency of 3.07 GHz with a sharp transition between the passband and the stopband, low insertion loss of less than 0.6 dB in the passband and an in-band group delay of 0.4 ns. Moreover, an ultra-wide suppression band from 3.68 to over 20 GHz with a suppression level generally better than 20 dB is also observed from measurements.

This paper investigates a feasible configuration of slotted bowtie antenna based on MTM and SIW properties for 5G millimeter-wave applications. To realize the proposed slotted bowtie antenna in a compact dimension with high performances, the MTM and SIW concepts are implemented by applying the trapezoidal slots on the top surface of the antenna and metallic via holes through the substrate layer connecting the top surface to the ground plane. The antenna has been fed with a simple microstip-line which is connected to a waveguide-port. It is shown that the slotted bowtie antenna with a small dimension of 30   ×   16   ×   0.8 mm3 operates over a measured wideband of 32–34.6 GHz with the fractional bandwidth, average gain, and radiation efficiency of 7.8%, 3.2 dBi, and 50%, respectively. To improve the antenna's performance, the artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) properties have been employed on the ground plane by loading vertical and linear slots with various lengths. The AMC slots are aligned under the trapezoidal slots on the top surface to transfer the maximum electromagnetic signals to them for optimum radiation. The proposed method enlarges the antenna’s effective aperture area, keeping constant its physical dimensions. The proposed AMC-loaded antenna covers wider frequency range of 30–37 GHz in measurement, which corresponds to 21% fractional bandwidth. The average experimental gain and radiation efficiency have been increased to 5.5 dBi and 66.5%, respectively, which illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed AMC-loaded antenna. The results confirm that the proposed slotted bowtie antenna with advantages of compact dimension, wide bandwidth, high gain and efficiency, low profile, being cost-effective, simple design, and easy fabrication process, which makes it applicable for mass production, can be a good candidate for 5G millimeter-wave applications.

Feeding Technique

In this paper, an Ultra Wideband (UWB) antenna is presented. The antenna radiating patch is circular in shape with coplanar waveguide (CPW) feeding technique. The proposed chamfering to the outer edges of the ground plane successfully widens the -10 dB impedance bandwidth of the antenna to cover from 1.92 GHz up to 15.16 GHz (correspond to 155% fractional bandwidth). The antenna gain varies from 2 to 5 dB over the operating band. Parametrical studies have been conducted for four different conditions of the ground plane; without chamfering, chamfering on the inner edges, chamfering on the outer edges and both chamfering of inner and outer edges. The effects of distinguished chamfering conditions to antenna performance are analyzed.  The measured and simulated results for reflection coefficients and radiation patterns (2.45 GHz, 3.5 GHz and 5.8 GHz) are presented. The corresponding realized gains are 2.14 dB, 2.85 dB and 3.4 dB respectively. The measured results satisfactorily agreed with the simulated ones. The antenna is 8 - 37 % wider bandwidth than previous research.

The impedance bandwidth is 9.42 GHz (3.12–12.54 GHz) for the final antenna with an equivalent fractional bandwidth of about 120.31%, producing triple notched bands centered at 3.95, 5.20 and 8.90 GHz with assistance of Archimedean spiral slot and incorporation of defected ground structure allowing WLAN (5.2 GHz), WiMAX (3.5 GHz) and higher satellite X-band (8.5 GHz) filtering abilities. Simulations of the antenna are performed to attain preferable return loss properties as well as gain and omni-directional radiation patterns. The suggested antenna yields a peak gain of about 7.46 dBi at 11.30 GHz and experimental values are in good obedience with simulated ones.

Abstract In this article, a dynamically switchable ultra-wideband (UWB) planar monopole antenna employing defected ground structure (DGS) with a folded stepped impedance resonator (SIR) that can operate as either a UWB mode or the single band-notched mode is introduced. The UWB monopole antenna contains a novel whirligig-shaped radiating patch and a chambered conductor as a partial ground plane. The switchable UWB antenna uses one PIN diode as switching elements in the DGS-SIR structure without any biasing network. When the state of diode is OFF, the planar monopole antenna changes to the UWB mode, and when the diode is turned ON, a frequency notch is created at 5–6 GHz. The state of diode is set to the “ON” state dynamically in the presence of a 5–6 GHz RF signal that is detected by using a wireless power management unit (PMU) that contains a broadband rectenna and a DC-DC passive booster. The rectenna consists of a novel cypress-shaped monopole antenna as a signal receiving part and two sub-rectifiers which are connected to a 3 dB branch-line coupler with a grounded isolation port. The antenna switches from UWB to single band-notched when an RF input signal (≥8.5 dBm) in the 5.25 GHz is sensed by the RF PMU with a conversion efficiency of 26% and DC output voltage of 0.36 V, and it fades immediately in real time when the external RF signal is eliminated. In the three-tone signals, the efficiency and input signal improvements are about 10% and −5.5 dBm in the low-power levels, especially, and so develop and enhance the performance of the dynamic reconfigurability.
